IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 28.907, dated June 26, 1860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, J. WV. SHIPP and 0. VV'. ORENsHAW,of La Grange, Fayette county, State of Tennessee, have invented a new and Improved Steel or rought-Iron Plow; and we do hereby declare that the t'ollowingis a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a front elevation. Fig. 3 is a view of bar and heel.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we will describe its construction and operation.

A is the bar, with standards B and O, for attachment to beam and handles 5 D, .the beam; E, the wing or mold-board; F, the double reversible point; G, the heel or landside, which is let into the bar A and fastened there by bolts or screws; H, the handles, which are first driven into rings a on the standard B, and are then fastened to the beam by screws or bolts; b', a screw and nut for attaching point F to the bar A. This point F is so shaped that it can be reversed without altering the shape of the plow. Thus as one point, 1, becomes dulled the point F is reversed, and the other point, 2, which has been sharpened by the use of the plow, takes its place, operating as well as at first. By means of the screw and nut 11 we are enabled to remove and reverse the double point F.

From this description it will be seen that our plow is at once extremely simple in its construction and effective in its operation.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The arrangement of the handles H, standard B, ring a, notches l 1, bar A, standard 0, mold-board E, heel G, and double point F, the whole operating substantially as set forth.
